Dave; my 37 has four cabin top winches and they appear to be original; the spec drawings show two winches and two more as optional equipment; then, of course, there are places for up to four winches on the raised deck areas near the mast, so I'm guessing that the original purchasers would have ordered what arrangement they wanted;

Put me in the move lines forward camp. I’m generating schematics of new line and hardware layouts right now. And one thing that I have been mulling over for quite some time is moving most, but not all, of the halyards back to the mast. Or mast area as it may be. And one the strategies is to go back to the original layout where the halyards came off the base of the mast and went to dedicated winches mounted on the cabin top. Right now I have two jib halyards, the main halyard, the spinnaker halyard, mainsheet, 1st and 2nd reefing lines and port and starboard traveler controls. And the there are miscellaneous lines forward that haven’t been accounted for under the old layout; cunningham, vang adjustment, and a nifty light-duty preventer line that leads from mid-boom through the boom and down to the mast base. Oh, and pole downhaul and lift. There is just too much line cluttering up the coach top and the sides of cabin under the dodger. I’ve been scouring the internets and found photos of J/40’s and J/44’s where the lines splay out to winches and line collection bags. I’m liking that. And the original deck layout for the 37’s clearly shows 4 winches. From the holes that I have been filling the former layout included one winch on the port side.
